Cloud, or not

That being said, I don't personally take any video while motorbike riding, just a handful of photos to remember highlights and pretty things

I travel with dji Osmo Action 4, dji Mini 3 drone, Canon PowerShot SX720HS.

I bought 256GB SD cards for £18 each directly from Kingston, as they are the cheapest recommended by dji. One card takes a lot to fill it. If you're brave enough, post them home every time you get to civilization, or simply pack them nicely.

The PowerShot doesn't accept 256, but is coping on a 32, which I then use a spare phone and a microSD adapter to copy onto a 256SD card.

The Action is on my helmet, you can set it to take photos every now and then, or video. If you could afford it, get a remote. That way your videos are only the interesting bits. Keep them short (smaller files).

I hire 2TB for £7.99/month from Google, their photos app backs up for me. You've got to watch it tho as it will eat anything, so I ride on flight mode, then off flight mode when I stop, for as long as I need catch up. Also limit the amount it can chew a day.

I figure it's online backup, frees my phone space, I can cancel once I get home and get the photos off. Bear in mind you need a desktop computer to get bulk photos off google, they don't make it easy, but they are storing original quality.

I'll have 3200+ photos by the end of this trip.
